Problem Solving involving Linear Equation in one variable

5 added to a number is 9.

• x + 5 = 9

• 9 + 5 = x

• 9 + x = 5

• 5x = 9

3 subtracted from a number is equal to 12.

• 3 - x = 12

• 3 - 12x = 0

• x - 3 =12

• x - 12 = 3

5 times a number decreased by 2 is 4.

• 2 - 5x = 4

• 5x - 4 = 2

• 4 - 5x = 2

• 5x - 2 = 4
